Scheifler) We've had two RA81s drop dead on us in the last two months. Not just a few bad blocks here and there, mind you, but sudden, total failure, resulting in loss of all the bits and requiring replacement of the HDA. And these were RA81s that had previously had all of their electronics (4 boards each) replaced to cure problems we had had earlier, which had resulted in the loss of an HDA. I have never heard of any comparable disasters with Eagles. that had previously had all of their electronics (4 boards each) replaced to cure problems we had had earlier, which had resulted in the loss of an HDA.
